  • this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula I in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
  • this invention relates to methods for the production of the 1-alkyl steroids of this invention.
  • this invention relates to the use of the compounds of this invention as aromatase-inhibitors.
  • R 6 and R 7 are H and the other is CH 3 , especially those wherein R 7 is CH 3 ;
  • R 1 is CH 3 , including those of groups (a) and (b);

  • R 1 ether groups are methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl and straight and branched chain propyloxymethyl and butyloxymethyl.
  • R 1 ester groups are formyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl and straight and branched chained propionyloxymethyl and butyryloxymethyl.
  • novel compounds of general Formula I inhibit estrogen biosynthesis, which is surprising, since the corresponding androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-diones which are unsubstituted in the 1-position cause a marked rise in the estrogen level.
  • aromatase is the speed-regulating enzyme in the conversion of androstenedione and testosterone into estrone and estradiol.
  • A 4-Hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (as a comparison compound in testing for aromatase-inhibiting effect, estrogenic activity, and in the testicle inhibition test).
  • test compounds A, B, C, and D The influence exerted by test compounds A, B, C, and D on the PMSG (pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin)-stimulated estrogen production was investigated.
  • the secretion of estradiol increased by treatment with PMSG (control), can be reduced by administration of aromatase inhibitors.
  • Variance analysis was used to check the significance of the differences with respect to the control group.
  • the strength of efficacy was determined by regression/covariance analysis.
  • Ovariectomized rats 200 g and mice (30 g), respectively, received subcutaneous administrations of the test compound once daily for 5 days.
  • the control animals received only the vehicle.
  • the average value for the organ weight and the standard deviation were determined for each group. The significance of the differences as compared with the control group was examined by variance analysis.
  • Compound B of this invention (3 and 10 mg/animal/day, 5 ⁇ s.c.) does not evoke estrogenic activity either in rats or mice (Tables 2 and 3). Comparison compound A, in contrast thereto, leads to a significant increase in weights of the uteri with a dosage of 3 and 10 mg/animal/day (5 ⁇ s.c.).
  • Testicle Inhibition Test In Rats to Determine Antigonadotropic Activity
  • Infantile male rats (30 g) were treated once daily for 12 days with the test compound by subcutaneous administration. One day after the final treatment, the animals were sacrificed and the testes were weighed. The control animals received only the vehicle.
  • the organ weights of the prostates, seminal vesicles, and adrenal glands were determined.
  • the organ weights were converted to mg/100 g body weight. For each group, the average value and the standard deviation were calculated.
  • compound B of this invention shows, no effect on the testicle weights (no antigonadotropin activity) but produces, at a dosage of 1 mg/animal/day, a slight reduction in seminal vesicle weights.
  • comparison compound A produces a significant reduction in the organ weights of the testicles, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands.
  • compound B of this invention has no effect on the fresh weights of seminal vesicles, prostate, m. [musculus]levator ani, and adrenal glands.
  • the novel compounds of general Formula I are suitable for inhibiting estrogen biosynthesis and consequently for the treatment of diseases caused by or dependent upon estrogens.
  • estrogen For example, an excess of estrogen is frequently found in women who are in menopause, with the associated risk of contracting breast cancer. In men, increased estrogen production and a raised estrogen/androgen ratio leads to gynecomastia and hyperplasia of the prostate.
  • the compounds are suitable for treatment of breast cancer and other estrogen-induced or -stimulated tumors.
  • aromatase inhibitors they are also advantageously suited for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment of prostate hyperplasia, as described, e.g., in U.S. Ser. Nos. 448,672 and 448,673, both filed on Dec. 10, 1982, and both of whose disclosures are incorporated by reference herein.
  • novel compounds are also valuable for affecting fertility, for example for treatment of male infertility resulting from elevated estrogen levels.
  • the compounds can be utilized as antifertility agents, e.g., to prevent ovulation or implantation in women of childbearing age.
  • the compounds can be administered orally or parenterally, for example intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or percutaneously.
  • the compounds can also be implanted in tissue.
  • the amount of compound to be administered varies within a wide range and can cover any effective quantity. Depending on the condition to be treated and the method of administration, the amount of compound administered can be 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.1-20 mg/kg body weight, per day.
  • the dosage units can contain, besides the active ingredient, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, such as, for example, amylose, sugar, sorbitol, gelatin, lubricants, silicic acid, talc, etc.
  • a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient such as, for example, amylose, sugar, sorbitol, gelatin, lubricants, silicic acid, talc, etc.
  • the individual dosage units for oral administration can contain, for example, 10-100 mg of the active agent (aromatase inhibitor).
  • the active agents can be dissolved or suspended in a physiologically compatible diluent.
  • Oils with or without the addition of a solubilizer, are utilized very frequently as the diluents. Examples for oils that are utilized are olive oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, castor oil, and sesame oil.
  • the compounds can also be used in the form of a depot injection or an implant preparation, which can be formulated so that timed release of active compound is made possible.
  • Implants can contain, as the inert materials, for example, biologically degradable polymers or synthetic silicones, e.g., silicone rubber.
  • the active agents furthermore can be incorporated into a plaster for percutaneous administration.
  • This invention in one aspect, relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing a compound of general Formula I.
  • novel compounds of general Formula I can be produced according to the following reaction schemes:
  • Reactions (a) through (d) take place according to known methods of steroid chemistry.
  • the oxidation set forth in process version (a) can be conducted in a manner known per se, for example with chromic acid reagents (Jones' reagent or chromic acid-pyridine) or with pyridinium dichromate or chlorochromate.
  • the 1,2-dehydrogenation according to process (b) can take place by means of known methods with dehydrogenation agents such as selenium dioxide or dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone.
  • Double bonds in the 1,2- and 4,5-positions can be introduced simultaneously, for example by bromination to the 2,4-dibromo-3-ketone and dehydrobromination of the dibromide with lithium carbonate or calcium carbonate and lithium bromide in dimethylformamide.
  • a 1-hydroxymethyl group liberated during the reaction can subsequently be esterified or etherified, and a liberated 17-hydroxy group can subsequently be oxidized.
  • Esterification of the 1-hydroxymethyl group in the presence of a 17-hydroxy group takes place preferably with lead diacetate and acetic anhydride in dimethylformamide.
  • Oxidation of the 17 ⁇ -hydroxy group is accomplished by following process version (a).
  • the chemical dehydrogenation agents as well as microbiological dehydrogenation can be employed.
  • Suitable microorganisms for introduction of the 1,2- and 4,5-double bonds are, for example, schizomycetes, for example Arthrobacter simplex (ATCC 6946), Bacillus lentus (ATCC 13805), or Bacillus sphaericus (ATCC 7055).
  • Saponification of a 1-alkanoyloxymethyl group according to process (d) can take place with an inorganic base in an alcoholic solution and the optionally subsequent reesterification is preferably conducted with the corresponding acid anhydride in the presence of organic bases.
  • a preferred embodiment provides to react the 1-hydroxymethyl steroid with p-toluenesulfonic acid chloride and pyridine to the 1-tosyloxymethyl steroid, and then with alkali alcoholate to the 1-alkoxymethyl steroid.
  • Contemplated equivalents of the compounds of this invention are aromatase inhibiting compounds otherwise corresponding to those of Formula I wherein R 1 is a hydroxymethyl group esterified or etherified with another ester or ether group, e.g., higher alkoxy or alkanoyloxy.
